EMCEE AUDITIONS: CONCLUDED

INDIVIDUAL ACT AUDITIONS:

Individual Act auditions will take place Dec. 11th – 13th. Please sign up for a timeslot HERE.

Individual acts are primarily conceived and rehearsed at home with a parent sponsor. There may be several people in your act, but it must be accepted into the show through this weeks auditions and primarily rehearsed on your own. We will have check ins with Individual Acts periodically at Oakton before or after school, but most practicing is on your own time.

GROUP ACTS:

There are NO AUDITIONS for Group Acts.

Group acts started at OES five years ago and have become very popular for kids that may want more guidance. Students will sign up via a Sign Up Genius that will go out on or about Dec. 18th and be registered for a group of their choosing (e.g., dance, bucket drums, singing) until all slots for that group are full. Rehearsals for Group Acts will meet weekly at OES either before or after school with our Variety Show volunteers.
